For these new starters, you may get a litter confused as Googles Android operating system allow a deeper level of customization, So here I have discovered a few quick tips and tricks to get you started and help you have a better experience on the special feature that only Samsung Galaxy Series smartphone offered.
1. Prolonging Battery life
We can do nothing if your phone is run out of battery, and most of smartphones fail in giving a long battery life, so I put the tips about how to extend the battery life in the first place. There are several tips that you can do to extend the battery life of your Phone.
For me, the Easy Battery Saver app is the best app that can help you prolong the battery life of your smartphone as it manages everything from the active applications, to the background, to the web browser. Make sure download one Power Saving app on your phone.
Make sure that you have turned Bluetooth and Wi-Fi off while you are not using your phone. For Galaxy note2, turn off the S-Pen detection to save some precious minutes in your battery life.

2. Video multi-tasking
Both of the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 allow you to watch a video while multitasking on the phone at the same time, called Pop Up Play. However, both of the phones does not support all file formats, so just download a media player like MX Player to help you.
Turn on Pop Up Video Pop Up Video
With this function, you can quickly transfer content to other NFC Android devices with a tap. To turn this on, go into Settings, more Settings and then tap S Beam.
Sharing Content with S Beam
Both of the super phones have S Voice built in, an intelligent voice recognition service that can act as your personal assistant. Everything will be easier with its help, like check the weather, compose an e-mail, and even launch other apps or more. Like if you shout "shoot" at your phone and itll take the photo.

5. Direct Call
The Direct Call feature will automatically call a contact if their log, contact, or message details are on the screen and you move the handset to your ear. Direct Call can be switched on and off in the Motion section of the settings menu.
6. Smart stay
Personally, this is my favorite special feature. Smart stay uses its front-facing camera to see if your eyes are still looking at the screen. If it finds them, it�ll keep the screen t active, rather than let it sleep. You can activate the feature from within the Display submenu of the full Settings menu.
7. S Pen (stylus)
Once mentioned about Galaxy Note 2, we could think of the S Pen. With the Special S Pen, drawing and writing become easier, and that is why many people fall in love with it. Also, with the S Pen, you don�t even need to touch the screen for it to show off, called Air View. Excellent. The S Pen makes it simple to take a screenshot of your smartphones full screen by holding the side button in and holding the pen to the screen until the edge of the screen flashes white, signaling a screenshot has been taken.

6 simple tips to fix damaged smartphone you must know
Being a long period of time, smartphones have been an essential part of our daily life, whether on working, or stay at home on weekends, we use the smartphones to contact with others, listen to our favorite music or watch the most enjoyable videos and so on. We can even say that, for most of us, taking a smartphone is no different than carrying our wallet. But like most electronic devices, something or the other can go wrong with the best of them even if you take care of them even you take care of them seriously. So when that happened, what should we do?
When parts of our smartphones go wrong, we will immediately think of taking them to a service center. But many problems are either not covered in the warranty, or a heavy bill and inconvenience awaits the user. In fact, most of the time, the condition of your favorite gadget may actually not be as bad as it seems and you can easily fix the problem yourself by following some simple steps, and here are some tips.
What you do if you�re Phone gets wet?
If your phone gets wet accidentally, remove your phones battery immediately and then use a towel to dry the physical parts of the smartphone and once finish it, bury your phone and the battery in a bowl full of rice. The rice will absorb all the water and moisture from the device. You should never try to switch the phone on as it may cause short-circuiting in the phone and may lead to a bigger loss for you.
One of the best things you can do is to place the wet smartphone on the back of your PC monitor or TV screen over the heat vents. The conventional heat waves coming out of these devices are perfect to dry and fix your phone. Else, you can place the smartphone in front of the air conditioner as well. Since the cold air coming from the AC is dry, it will dry up your phone quicker than you may expect.
To be on the safer side you can later use a hair dryer to remove the remaining moisture and water from the phone, however, never use a dryer as the first solution. This will worsen the situation by blowing the water droplets into deeper areas of your phone.
Scratches on the screen
The scratches that will appear on screen sooner if you using your smartphone without a screen guard.
But don�t be afraid, toothpaste can help you fix those scratches and make you phones screen as shiny as your teeth. Just put toothpaste on the screen and gently rub it in circular motion with a soft cloth or cotton and then wipe the whole thing with a soft and slightly damp cloth.
Note: Make sure it is a toothpaste and not a tooth gel.
Stuck pixels
Stuck pixels are the dead pixels that appear on the smartphone screen as a stationary black dot or a bright white or red spot. You can try removing them by gently massaging the area around the stuck pixel with a soft cloth. By this method, you are allowing the pixel to reorient itself and regain color.
Phone shuts-off randomly
If your phone shut off randomly for times, it shows that you have dropped your phone a good number of times or the battery is loose. When this happened, all that you have to do is to take a small bit of paper and fold it. Then open the back cover of your phone and insert the folded bit of paper between the edge of the battery and the edge of the phone, on the opposite side where the terminals of the battery are located. This will keep the battery firmly in place and stop your phone from shutting down.

You can also try to solve the problem by turning off screens auto-rotate function, Bluetooth, reducing the screen brightness and GPS. If you are not really bothered about using the Wi-Fi and have an internet pack activated, you can switch off the Wi-Fi as well.
